Man praises cop killer outside of sheriff’s office (VIDEO)

A Flori­da man took to protest­ing against the police and show­ing sup­port for a cop killer while stand­ing in front of the Char­lotte Coun­ty Sheriff’s Office, and while some sup­port his right to protest, oth­ers say it’s a down­right dis­turb­ing move.

Orlan­do Police Depart­ment Mas­ter Sergeant Debra Clay­ton was fatal­ly shot last week and Orange Coun­ty Sheriff’s Deputy Nor­man Lewis was killed in a car acci­dent while in pur­suit of Clayton’s killer. The sus­pect, Markei­th Loyd, who was already want­ed in con­nec­tion to his preg­nant girlfriend’s death, remains at large.

While the depart­ments are receiv­ing sup­port fol­low­ing the deaths of the offi­cers, Ian McGuire showed up at the Char­lotte Coun­ty Sheriff’s Office with a card­board sign that read, “2 Cops Dead in Orlan­do, God Bless The Shoot­er.”

Angela Madi­son, who works near the sheriff’s office, said McGuire’s actions make her uncom­fort­able. She called the move appalling.

“Free­dom of speech is one thing but that’s just dis­re­spect,” Madi­son added.

“Per­son­al­ly I think he needs to be on the FBI watch list,” Mozetti said.

“He’s not only a dan­ger to him­self or his sur­round­ings, he’s a dan­ger to soci­ety. Def­i­nite­ly a dan­ger to the police offi­cers he’s protest­ing,” Mozetti added.

McGuire is no stranger to law enforce­ment either. While he often protests out­side of the sheriff’s office, he has also been arrest­ed five times, includ­ing once for aggra­vat­ed assault with a dead­ly weapon in 2012.
